These photos taken at Trump's Inauguration have gotten very popular because of the peoples' expressions captured at the right or wrong moment. As you know the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words," it applies to this compilation. In one photo, we see Trump and Obama side by side, smiling as Obama waves at the camera, but in another, we see Trump pointing his menacing finger at Obama's chest, seeming like a threat. These two photos make you look twice as they both show complete opposite emotions.

In these photos of Trump's inaugration people can be decriped as elated and excited. But as people say: 'Never trust the press' because pictures can be modified or if captured at a certain moment could show an feeling that in fact was in real life another. For exemple: The picture of Obama and Michelle standing next to Trump and Meliana Obama is giving the pressinfront of him a huge smile and so is everyone ( and this isn't just a wanting to look good for the camera) But you can never master lieing and the truth comes out somehow. So comment started flying around that they were all fake smiles. Some photos do show a little pain and restrant from the truth in the faces of the people in the crowd and even Michelle. Puting on a good face for the press they try and repress their true feelings or thoughts. Which has worked in several occasions so now the press who has captured the truth and the happy smiles. It is their choice which to chose. So mnay newpapers will choose to post the smiles to give a good comment on the inaugration though some may wish to show the people to truth.

I think that this image has two sides to it and it is partly subjective and partly objective. This photo has become one of the most popular and iconic ones from the recent Trump Inauguration as it shows what most of the public wants to see: Trump being rude and impolite, showing him to be an unfit and incapable president and representative of the United States. Trump just happened to be caught in the moment, where he was pointing his finger at Obama, which shows one side of his personality and his manners, but it does not reflect the whole ceremony. It would be unfair to make a judgment based on one photo. However, all the media coverage on Trump is relatively negative and somewhat questionable, so this could be an authentic image of Trump's behavior and composure towards Obama. There are multiple factors that go into making this photo viral. Firstly, Obama and Trump are on the list of the top most prominent and well known political figures in the world, who both represent a very influential country, which can only boost the popularity of the photo. Secondly, throughout the election, Obama was supporting Hillary's campaign (as he is democrat), and not only that, but him, his family, and his famous supporters were publicly addressing Hillary's Republican opponent harshly, with their brash and bold opinions on him, and were very adamant about how poor they believed his values and manners were. Although Obama largely contributed to this rivalry, he was only responding to the numerous remarks that Trump had made along his campaign. Trump made some racist remarks about whether Obama was even a U.S citizen, since he is African American. And Trump has also make some sexist and objectifying remarks about women (calling them pigs, dirty, or rating them on a scale of 1 to 10) and his Democratic female opponent. This photo was meant to be popular among the people who were against Trump and his approach towards certain policies and social issues, and made to anger his conservative supporters.
Most importantly, this photo stirs controversy and begins a conversation, so that is the primary element to making this photo a viral one.

And you what do you think? Do these photos give an objective and realistic picture of the ceremon y, or are they oriented according to a certain bias?

I believe that this photo is not trustworthy it is mostly likely taken by the photographer to be used in an opinion or cause that he believes in. In this case the picture seems to have to taken to make people think that President Donald J. Trump was being hostile to former President Barrack Obama, however what I believe is probably the case is that the picture was probably taken while the President was making a hand gesture or pointing at something. Then the photographer either gave or sold the photo to liberal media so they could use it against the acting President or boost their views with some catchy headlines. What could also have happened is that the photographer dislikes Trump so he posted it on the internet without context so that any liberals surfing the web could come to their own conclusions and start an anti-Trump campaign. This shows that pictures are not entirely reliable because without context they can used for whatever opinion or cause that the user has in mind.

This photo shows Trump greeting Barack Obama at the presidential inauguration. Barack´s face is solemn, and as the two men exchange a tight handshake, he places a hand on Trump´s shoulder. The Donald, meanwhile, is seen jabbing an outstretched finger at Obama´s chest. This photo is certainly not taken from an objective point of view, as in the moment captured, the finger looks aggressive and accusing. Trump is depicted as a bully towering over Barack Obama. This image has been widely circulated because it shows Trump as a crude, hostile man, which is what many news stories have shown him to be. This is undeniably what most of the American public wants to hear. However, this was taken in a very fleeting moment, and Trump may have greeted Obama warmly afterwards. His past statements, though, do indicate that he is a reactionary man. Therefore, this picture is subjective, but does embody an aspect of Trump which is well-known: his coarseness. This photo cannot give us a clear impression of what kind of a man Trump is, but it tells us what general opinions of him are. And since the image was so widely see, it is clear that a large part of America sees Trump as a coarse and rude man. In any case, there is no denying that this photo is extremely powerful, if quite biased.

This picture managed to become extremely famous because of the two iconic humans that were captured. Barack Obama and Donald Trump are always being photographed, therefor most pictures end up in the papers or online. This specific one catches eyes because of the hand figure Trump is doing towards a very highly respected man. We already learned from our parents that it is rude to point at others, so to see a well known man point at one of the most respected men on earth is astonishing. Many people in the U.S have different opinions on Trump. There has been many protests and marches against the man and his decisions. America has always been "The Land of the Free" but some people now believe that our new president is changing that idea. Obama has always been very respected, during his eight years as president and now couple months after. Many people on the internet started a trend #obamadontgo to show their love towards the 44th president. Trump's campaign was "Make America Great Again" as he stats that he will build a wall to control the immigration problem the U.S has been having for a while. This photograph has an important impact on the future of America. It's showing the leaving of Barack Obama and the coming of Donald Trump. Our new president takes the thrown and watches the old walk away. The people who believe America has made the right choice are looking forward to the future and are excited to see what's now in store. For some, this image is the announcement of of a new beginning. A new utopia America once was. Some idolize Trump because of the promises he made to the U.S. and how he is willing to do whatever it takes to solve the immigration problem.

This photo is extremely subjective; it is clearly pejorative of the Republican Party. Representing President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump and his son Eric Trump as rude and smiling men while former President Obama transfers power with a frown plainly upon his face. This image attempts to place former President Obama as a serious and formal man while portraying President Trump and his son as gloating, informal men. It also attempts to contrast the white President Trump with the African-American Obama. The gesture that President Trump made while speaking was caught by the photographer in a pathetic attempt to make it look malicious. This is clearly some far-flung left-wing reporter's attempt to make news.
I regard this photography as dishonest and not representative of the inauguration. It is one-sided and attacks the Republican Party and President Trump's campaign. The camera caught a harmless gesture and the photographer attempted to use it in order to attack the President.
A truly objective photographer would not just take an image when he or she felt it made President Trump look bad, he or she would seek to portray an innocent conversation and handshake as such.
